Here is my list. I'm so hungry for more droids and padmes. After seeing the flilm I am baffled that they didn't make Po Nudo. I mean, he is such a great link to ANH as it's another Walrus Man character, plus he got a lot more screen time than many of the toys that are currently on the shelves. . .

I want 2-1B, the Neimodian Invisible Hand Captain with "magnetize! magnetize!" voice chip lol and also the Neimodian who screams "No! No!" when Darth Vader greets him with his lightsaber. This one also needs a Commtech chip. lol

Okay here are my picks. I've listed the entire 72 and split them into 3 sets. (Most wanted, middle wanted and least wanted-but still wanted none the less.) I know mine is rather clone and army building heavy near the top. But it makes sense for me as I'm an army builder, but also for kids as they can identify with having armies to play with and don't really know all the minor or background characters.
Anyway on to my list:

They should make every Jedi SA with soft goods robe and tunic. I mean what good is a jedi if his legs don't move???
Also for the Clone troopers, they should make all the color variations and sell them loose in Giant Variety buckets like LEGO blocks. I would have no problem not having carded versions I mainly want them for displays. I would gladly shell out for a Tub O' Troops!

I think the list should include:

Mace in robes with removable hand
Palpatine from formation of the Emperor with hood up
Episode III Obiwan hood up
Yoda and Chewbacca with Yoda on Chewie's back
Grievous with removable hand
Yoda without cloak
Anakin with hood up from storming the temple
Creature pulling casket
Biker Scout from Kashyyk with articulation
Kit Fisto in Jedi robes
Yoda and Clone two pack with hole through Clone's chest for Yoda' sword

How about the medical droid that helps deliver the twins? Of course as long as it comes with those shoehorn hands.

Uhhh, have you not opened you ROTS Count Dooku figure? Not sure why you are adding a fig to your most wanted list that's already out? :beard:

See pic (courtesy of rebelscum) for more info:

I could do that with any figure. I still don't think you're supposed to do that to the figure or it would say so on the package. It is so different from how they have done removable hands/head in the past.

TheDarthVader

18. Evil Anakin w/ Robes and Hood up.

Don't you mean Darth Vader? Remember, he was Vader before the suit! ;)

Why isn't MACE WINDU EMPEROR'S WRATH on the list? I have enjoyed my Emperor's Wrath Vader immensely! We need a Mace with the see-through skeleton. I remember seeing this on screen during my 2nd viewing.

Okay, I ranked my top twenty before noticing the caveat that they had to be on the list. I hope this isn't too much of a spanner in the works, and I think all the write-in Mace's could probably be combined, but I'll indicate my write-ins in blue.

1. Owen Lars
2. Beru Whitesun Lars

Why don't we have these already?!? Seriously? These are the two most needed holdovers from AOTC. I don't recall Beru looking noticeably different in ROTS, but we now need two Owens! With or without Luke, I don't care. And a nice Deluxe Cliegg is needed, too, while we're at it.

3. Baron Papanoida

Call me stupid, but I want this guaranteed pegwarmer. Not that there's any chance Hasbro will skip him over later this year or early next, but George figures are always cool. Except when they're just repainted Porkins figures and impossible to get. :)

4. Jedi Killer Clone (blue) that storms the temple

There are lots of needed Clonetrooper variants from ROTS, but I'd say the most necessary is the one we see, oh, I don't know ten billion of in one of the most pivotal scenes!!

5. Mace Windu. . . an accurate one, for once

We have not had a decent Mace figure for years. We need one. Really, really badly. He only scores this low because there have been dozens of inadequate ones, and he might not be the strongest seller.

The loveliest woman to ever grace the Temple (may she rest in peace :cry: ) deserves a figure to replace the mini-Unleashed "Bariss Offee: Opera Diva" figure from AOTC, one on par with the other ROTS Jedi. She should come with macrobinoculars as a pack-in, and if Hasbro's feeling really twisted, she could have an "exploding" action feature.

7. Utai Technician

These little guys totally rocked. Even Jawas love to scream about their knees.

8. Ki-Adi Mundi hologram - sitting, ditto on the softgoods question

This just sounds cool.

9. Blue IG Magna-Droid

And black and white, for that matter. No two were alike, so we shouldn't have clone armies of these guys.

10. Cin Drallig
Jedi dueling trainer played by Nick Gillard. I think he wound up with a split second of screen time, but the character looks pretty cool.

11. Obi-Wan Kenobi softgoods, with Jedi Council chair

A nice, neutral Obi-Wan. Is it too much to ask for? Judging from the figures we've gotten for the past few years, yes, apparently so.

12. Padme in Senator's robes with hair in buns

An obvious Padme resculpt, and Hasbro has some grudge against these, so it's not one I'll hold my breath for. :(

13. Padme's baby delivery droid with Luke & Leia

The size of this little guy, girl, whatever, seems the most logical to throw in some baby action figures with. I certainly would hope the Luke & Leia are super-articulated. :p

Y'know, ever since George decided the Quarra Aqualish had six eyes, we've not gotten a figure of one. Surprising, when you think about it.

20. E3 Queen of Naboo

I don't feel like looking up the character's name, but I think the other Oscar-nominated young actress deserves an action figure. Of course, Queen Jamilla from AOTC should be a higher priority since she spoke. Whatever happened to Jamilla, anyway? Was she voted out, or did she die, or what? I'm sure the EU will eventually explain she was Dengar's mom or something.

And the least necessary figure:
Mon Calamari Ballet Swimmer

I do not need a figure that is essentially Admiral Ackbar in a bikini. :eek:

Anakin in regular Jedi robes not pre-posed
Obi-Wan Kenobi softgoods, with Jedi Council chair
Blue Gen. Grievous' Body Guard (Magna Droid)
General Grievous - larger size
Commander Cody (orange Clone Comdr.)
2-1B droid (Vader's birth)
FX-6 droid (Vader's birth)
Anakin Jedi Fighter Pilot
Honestly, even this is stretching it. I cut out a few Anakins and Obi-Wans since some decent-articulation on Anakin and Obi-Wan, robes that look good for both (hood down AND up, probably not soft-goods this way though since hoods are always a mess there) and we're set for a lot of needs. I'm barely hanging onto the notion of having Ani JSF pilot on my list.

We need lots of Clone Troopers with all varieties of armor, equipment, and markings.

And along those lines, we need more separatist soldiers. It doesn't seem right when we already have so many clones and hardly anyone for then to fight (except Jedi). We need some sturdy, well-articulated battle droids and super battle droids. Army builder sets would be nice.

vader121

05-26-2005, 11:06 AM

1. Blue-highlighted Clone Trooper (Jedi Temple)
2. Red-highlighted Clone Trooper
3. Lava river being (name?)
4. Neimodian bridge operator (seen in Ep1 as well)
5. The robot-like figures that greeted Anakin, etc. after they landed on Coruscant. They are at the far left and are pretty cool looking. Remind me of
Micronauts.
6. Take-apart Battle Droid. One that you can diassemble and reassemble with locking joints. The one that came with the Naboo playset was so weak. Also have the seems painted orange like in the movie to simulate heat from the sabers (that was a cool effect in the new movie by the way)
7. Commander Cody
8. Removeable hands Mace Windu
9. Removeable head Dooku
10. Oil-slicked Super Battle Droid
11. Medical droid w/infant Luke & Leia (although infants aren't that cool they would be a suitable fill in with the medical droid)
12. Boss Nass (Padme funeral)
13. QuiGonn holographic (in anticipation for DVD cut scene)
14. Dignitary that accompanied Tion Medon
15. Battle-worn Obiwan
16. 2-1b
17. Other medical droid on Star Destroyer
18. Star Destroyer operator
19. Younglings
20. Padme in night-gown complete with a little cleavage lol

As you can tell I'm a pretty big fan of all the versions of Clone Troopers. Even though he wasn't seen in the film, unless I missed him, I would love to see Clone Commander Neyo at some point but I can understand why he isn't on the list. However I think Commander Thire and/or his shocktroopers with red markings (seen in the senate auditorium after Yoda's retreat) should be included. If so you could put them in at #'s 11 and 12 bumping off my # 19 & 20 choices.

Tycho, I'd suggest accepting write-ins and if they garner enough votes to break into the top 20 you could include them on the list. Just an idea :)

Also, single-carded reissues of figures like Shu Mai, Poggle the Lessor, San Hill, Passle Argente(with new robes) and Holo-Sidious would be welcome.

Tycho

05-26-2005, 10:54 PM

Tycho, I'd suggest accepting write-ins and if they garner enough votes to break into the top 20 you could include them on the list. Just an idea :)

Oh, write-ins are welcome as long as you only list 20 figures total. Sure if the write-in has more than a figure on the original list, it's welcome to make our final list.

-and DANG! I can't believe we forgot Palpatine's red colored shock troops! I'm also a huge fan of the Clones and those were some of the coolest ones.

If anyone wants to re-write their list because they forgot something (and you can no longer edit your original list) - just put in bold UPDATED LIST at the top of your new 20, and I'll only count your new list.

We were bound to have mistakes and not putting that Clone on the list was for sure a mistake I made!

Not bad. The only one that didn't make the list I really want is Palpatine from the scene where he announces the formation of the Empire.

Tycho

06-01-2005, 04:30 PM

Not bad. The only one that didn't make the list I really want is Palpatine from the scene where he announces the formation of the Empire.

That's the Deluxe Palpatine figure that's out now. It can serve if:

you put something in his back button to hold his "evil scarred and deformed face" forward, but without turning it all the way on so it drains your batteries out of his "Force effects lights."

Palpatine has many variations in ROTS:

1) In the chair / on the Invisible Hand (made, can sit without outer cloak)#14
2) In his office and the theater "I need your help son..." - SAGA FIGURE 2002
3) In his office, red outfit "Only through me will you achieve a power..." #35
4) In his office, deformed, red outfit "We must move quickly. The Jedi..."#35
5) With his hood up "Every single Jedi is now an enemy of the Republic
6) Senate Speech "The First Galactic Empire!" - Deluxe Figure
7) vs. Yoda - dark purple - possibly the same as "Enemy of Republic?"
8) Mustafar / Vader's birth / on Star Destroyer - Emperor Palpatine #12

So we need 3 outfits of Palpatine (or 2, or 1 if you count the Deluxe as satisfying the Senate speech outfit).

Ugh. . . TOO MANY CLONES!

Enough. Nearly half the list is just one clone variation after another.

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm just bitter that Po Nudo didn't make the list.
I am seriously bummed. I thought he was doing so well.

you put something in his back button to hold his "evil scarred and deformed face" forward, but without turning it all the way on so it drains your batteries out of his "Force effects lights."

I guess that would work, but I don't really like the idea of doing something some may call "unnatural" to my figure. :) I'd rather just have a good, neutrally posed (maybe two sets of arms so he can hold them up in response to the applause) figure of such an important scene.

06-09-2005, 03:02 AM

Rebelscum reported that there will be 12 more ROTS figures this year.

If they are correct, I'd assume that means #57-68.

Do you think they'll be from our Top 20 list? Which ones?

Top 20 Most-Wanted character got is on the left, starting with the Most-Wanted Figure from ROTS:

Our list had 8 out of 20 being specific types of Clone Troopers. Proportionately (and even rounding down) that's like 4 out of 12.

I couldn't see them seriously doing more than 1/3 of the final E3 figures as all clones - in spite of 6 of our 8 ranking in our Top 12. (the numbers of votes each character got are posted above the last time I listed our Top 20).

I would bet on:

1) Commander Cody for sure.
2) Gree (or Bly) - one or the other. Gree had a line and looked meaner.
3) Blue-striped Death Squad Clone or Snow-Clone. Probably blue - cheaper repaint
4) Beru with Baby Luke - has been on top of our 5-movie list as well.
5) Uncle Owen - ditto - the same reason. We delivered SSG's Top 50 (from 5-movie list to a warm reception by Hasbro's SW Director at Celebration 3. They promised they'd have a meeting to discuss our results. Owen and Beru (from AOTC) were at the top of our 50 Most Wanted List, pre-ROTS. I think they warrant serious consideration.

6) Padme in one of her outfits. The blue dress, nightgown, Leia buns, or Senate are most likely, but Ruminations is a contender. One figure will be a Padme. In spite of our needing more, I doubt we'll see more than 1 (though it's wishful thinking to just get all 12 of her outfits done for these ;) )

7) A medical droid - either one of Vader's or one of Padme's. I don't know if we'll see more than 1, but there will at least be a droid and the medical droids are obvious choices. One of Padme's would seem to have a higher probability since we have one of Vader's - but here's to hoping for 2 - one from each scene - birthing and 21-B (since FX-7 was 2001, but 21-B was last released in 1997).

8) Coruscant Fireship Pilot - it's not that necessary -but it's weird and off-the-beaten path, and just like Hasbro to "show us that they aren't blind to insignificant background characters" in spite of the fact that this figure is sort of useless without his ship.

9) Anakin Skywalker as Darth Vader - molded hood up - but if that's too similar to #56 (the "normal way to assemble him") then they could do softgoods with the ability to put the hood up, and include his Jedi Council chair along with Super-articulation and no action features - plus maybe his pilot head set - so all things considered, he'd also sit in the starfighter better if you didn't buy the exclusive green one. But Anakin is selling and hard to keep on the shelves right now.

10) A Separatist - there aren't any in this assortment. Battle Droids of all kinds have been done. So the logical choice is an organic. It'd be cheap for them to re-issue or slightly retool a regular that'd been done before. Nute Gunray would be the most prominent choice. Po Nudo might be more obscure and harder to hope for (though that'd be my preference). Tikkes might be more likely (not more than Nute though) because they could retool Tessek's award-winning sculpt (best SW figure of 2001 for many).

11) A Jedi Hologram - Plo Koon or Ki-Adi Mundi - or Aayla Secura - or a "Hasbro gets their most out of the Cody mold" - but Anakin is also a possibility, as is Darth Sidious. I'd guess we'll get 1, to be followed by the others slowly over next year and then the next year after that (2007). I'd prefer the Jedi Council Members myself - Ki or Plo. But maybe we'd see 2 - though I doubt that. One wouldn't surprise me because it would stand out as different and add variety to the assortment.

12) Darth Vader - as perfect as the #11 figure was (I think it's #11), he's no where to be seen. He's the capitalist of the ROTS theme and market. It'd make sense. I don't know what they'd do for a new Darth Vader figure - perhaps molded cloak, no action features, because the last one was soft-goods. But like I said - that's real marketable. An Evil Palpatine still remains a hopeful possibility - after he's wrinkled and put the hood up - from the Yoda duel since it's the only Palpatine figure missing. I've noticed that Palpatine as Emperor (shooting lightning) sells faster than the red cloak (2 heads - but that figure is in newer assortments still shipping) and the black prisoner one - which is declining a lot in numbers. But Vader is no where on the racks.

My only other guess at it would be Bail Organa in a new outfit since he was a non-Jedi action hero (sort of - but he was definitely cool).

A Pau'n (the short ones on Utopau, Utai are Tion Meddon's people) wouldn't surprise me either.

What do you guys guess?

Good guesses there Tycho..I agree with a couple of modifications..

1)Clone: Commander Cody A lead clone that is featured in numerous scenes as well as having lots of ibteraction with a lead character. He's visually arresting and I hope he includes a removable helmet, a interchangable right hand (one for weapon-holding, another holding holo-Sidious), two guns, Obi-Wan's lightsaber hilt (that can hook on his belt) and a new "Utapau" styled based. (Hey I'm dreaming but may as well shoot for the stars, eh?)

2)Clone: Commander Gree Another clone actual lines featured with a lead character. A great opportunity for some cool detail work here and I hope he features bendable knees so he may be posed conferring with Yoda...

4)Clone Shock trooper These red-detailed bad boys a re figured prominately as Sidious's personal squad so it would be great having some to pose with the Sith Master. Again, great detailing opportunities abound...

5)Clone Snow CloneTrooper "Mygeeto Betrayal" would be a cool name and they are among the most interesting visually not to mention they are a great "bridge" between their counterparts in the OT...

6)Pols Massa Medical Droids I would still like to see a two packe here ala AOTC's library droids. It could feature the attending droid ("She's lost the will to live...") and the delivery droid together as one set.

7) Bail Organa Okay, I'm going to really go out on a limb with a suggestion to Hasbro here and ask for a combo. Have an outer cloak shell (ala choco-Obi or EpOne Mace) that features the design he wore during the "Democracy Dies" scene, with that massive cool looking silver yolk. The cloak could be split up sides for easy on/off. The figure itself could sport the "Jedi Platform Assault" outfit and the figure could sport multiple points of articulation. With the right approach, we could not only get two figures for the price of one, but this figure would have great play & collector value. Hasbro has proven multiple times that secondary characters can be given exceptional treatment as figures (Bo Shek, Cloud Car Pilot, Bespin Guard, Cantina memebers to name a few). This could be a really cool figure....

8) Padme Amidala I agree that we've got to have a least one more figure of her from ROTS. Out of the many outfits I'd like to see either the "Senate Platform rendezvous"(Leia-inspired hairdo) or the "Democracy Dies" outfit. Either of these lend themselves to making effective looking figures. While we may find other outfits like nightgowns more visually appealing onscreen, the delicate nature of the design usually does'nt translate well as a figure.

9) P'aun Mechanics Another cool opportunity for some bang for the buck as these characters are small enough to be featured as a two pak (ala the Ugnaughts of ESB) They could feature some kind of landing platform-oriented accessory.

10) Baron Papinoida The opportunity to do a figure of Luca's cameo character is just too strong to miss...

11) Holo- (insert character here) I also agree that we could see any number of previously released characters in holo form. They're a quick and easy filler for Hasbro, not to mention always popular. My personal want is Cody but we'll probably see either Aayla (popular character) or Sidious (still extremly popular on secondary market...cool way to get him in the hands of those who missed him first time around...

12) Insert resculpt/new version or core character here It's amazing to me that we didn't see more of this in the first 56 figures but hey, I'm not complaining! I just hope that if the character redux featured is a jedi that they include a soft-goods cloak!

Now you'll notice I took a pass on Owen & Beru. While they are significant characters, I just don't see them as being worthy of single-card releases (I'm still amazed we got a Shmi Skywalker!). Maybe somewhere down the line like in whatever collection follows ROTS...I'd really like to see a collection that featured these and other collector-friendly secondary characters that rival the excellent POTJ collection that followed Episode One. That wouls be the time to put out important diorama and/or collector-appealing character like Owen/Beru, more senators/seperatists, Opera attendees and the like.

As for Vader....well, yes...it is his year with ROTS and all, but I don't think we need another new version of this character right now. We've had #11, the lava reflection one, the Clll one, the forthcoming 500th one (which I say was done better as a complete galaxy a few years back), the Evolutions one, the two deluxe figures (quickchange and operating table) and hey...this guy is going to give his son Luke a run for the "Most overdone" award for figures here. Just reissue what's done and give the old boy a rest...

06-10-2005, 01:58 PM

This was our list arrived at by the method I personally used in this thread that covered scene by scene for each movie (http://forums.sirstevesguide.com/showthread.php?t=24054&page=61&pp=20) - but the same page I linked to in the thread also has Kidhuman's list - and he tallied up everyone's Top 50 Lists the way I did your Top 20 ROTS in this thread.

Only 12 figures were different by 2 distinctly different methods! That means 38 of our choices really ARE fandom's "Top 38". I gave copies of both lists to Hasbro and highlighted the differences in the 12 figures. They were most impressed that 38 were the same choices.

Below is the list my scene-by-scene method generated. It DOES NOT INCLUDE REVENGE OF THE SITH FIGURES, but instead, includes the Top 38 Choices from the 5 previous movies:

I would happy with one of those Tyderian style shuttles... but figure wise i would like some battle damage clones, blast holes etc. removable helmets woul be a plus as well.

06-28-2005, 01:26 AM

In light of Rebelscum's posting of the supposedly forthcoming Clone 3-packs...

1) Cody was on our list, but not his Utopau Mission Clones. They didn't quite have the points.

2) Palpatine's shock troopers were on our list, at # 19.

3) The 501st Legion Clones (blue Jedi Temple invaders) were also listed as the # 2 most wanted.

NOW WILL THESE COUNT?

We won't know until we see them. Repainted 3-packs with kneeling, lying down, and standing/firing figures are not independently articulated figures.

With the 501st, you will not be able to make him marching behind Anakin.

With the Coruscant Shocktroopers, when were they lying down or kneeling? How can you make these figures "personally report to Palpatine?"

I'm sure the 3-pack works for Cody's Clones though.

In any case, for The 501st and Coruscant Shocktroopers, vote:

1) non-poseable 3-packers count

2) non-poseable 3-packers do NOT count.

I vote "they do NOT count." Sorry. I need aritculation from these figures. I hope we'll see that.

Those crappy unarticulated Deluxe Clones are a waste of plastic. If you can't recreate the scenes from the movie with the figure than they shouldn't count because most of us won't be happy until we have one that does.

Lasers and Gamorreans, announcing the first figure to be taken off our list because it has been made by Hasbro!

THE CORUSCANT SHOCKTROOPER!

GalacticHunter posted pictures just a little while ago. They also posted pictures of the Clone Commander #33 being repainted GREEN??? If they'd only painted him Yellow, we would have Commander Bly to check off our list as well.

Anyway, they are making the Shocktrooper out of Clone # 6. While we all would have appreciated it being #41, this figure is articulated enough to count. Clone #41 is also being re-released. There is no word or picture yet, but if it is not an all-white Clone, we may have our 501st yet!

I do NOT believe these repaints count amongst the rumored 12 new figures for the end of the ROTS collection this year! That is great news for everyone except maybe carded collectors who are slapping their head because they have to change their display wall to make room for (how many?) more #6's, #33's, and possibly #41's if they keep them in numeric order. LOL

I suspect most will gladly do this.

But it is great news, because we may see more of the new figure sculpts required to make characters from our Top 20 list below.

It has been ammended to reflect the update with the announcement of the Coruscant Shocktrooper!

those would be the only ones i'd want to pick up. I pretty much go only for figures of characters i like (that i dont have a billion sculpts of) and ones I think were done really well

Tycho

07-10-2005, 02:08 AM

Kidhuman's smart to say that. This figure is an easy custom to make - and I'd really feel awful if someone was teasing us and made a joke of pulling our finger when it comes to action figures we really want.

But at the same time, it's another easy 5 bucks for Hasbro to make should they be doing this themselves.

We'll "un-cross-it-out" if we need be.

But it begs the question - if a customizer wanted to pull our leg and show us what we all really wanted, why would he paint the Clone Commander green instead of yellow (like Cmdr. Bly)?

It takes someone at Hasbro to really be that frustrating.

Hellboy

07-10-2005, 03:19 AM

They also posted pictures of the Clone Commander #33 being repainted GREEN??? If they'd only painted him Yellow, we would have Commander Bly to check off our list as well.

Well I'm not sure if this figure is officially Commander Bly but we're getting a yellow Clone Commander in the upcoming Evolution set so I suppose you could go ahead and cross him off the list Tycho.

Tycho

Well I'm not sure if this figure is officially Commander Bly but we're getting a yellow Clone Commander in the upcoming Evolution set so I suppose you could go ahead and cross him off the list Tycho.

I'll see it again at Comic Con in person and evaluate the yellow Clone myself. I saw it at C3, but didn't really pay much attention as I wasn't interested in that set:

I have even 3 or 4 extra SA Clones from CW that I may or may not ever use in my scenes. I'll probably use them though - so thanks but no offers please.

I have NO use for a Sandtrooper whatsoever.

And I have to buy these figures to get Commander Bly? It's not an ideal situation.

However, we took the Blue SnaggleToothe and the Silver Death Star Droid RA-7 off the Vintage-Not-Yet-Redone Lists and they were pack-ins, as was the A-wing Pilot. So yeah, if Bly checks out when I see a good picture of him, I can let him go too.

There are only a few characters that I would want to see made from ROTS.

The trooper from the evolution set is one of Bly's grunts and not Bly (see attached pics)

Also, Tycho, if it turns out that the Shock Trooper variant is official, I think instead of 'crossing it out' you should remove it and add the Clone Scout Trooper (aka SA barc trooper) :crazed:

Tycho

This sucks more than I thought it did: for those that want to army build Bly's men, you'll get your figures at $20 each :rolleyes: - and what if you're like me and have 40 some sandtroopers and SA Clones from Kamino already?

I don't need these kinds of army builders myself any longer. But I'd have gladly bought 4 individually carded Clones from Fallucia (Bly's men) to go with him for Aayla Secura's death scene.

Meanwhile, as I explained in the Scene-By-Scene Figures Most Wanted and Never Made Before (our OTC / TPM / AOTC) version of this thread (Saga section), we don't add on folks when we cross others off the list.

If we always have 20, couldn't Hasbro say "these people are never pleased?"

Why not let them cross out the 20 most wanted ROTS figures and see what they can do, before we hit them with more demands?

I say we try and get ALL these Top 20 figures done and once they're made, or a majority of them are, come back and remake a new list later.

Anyway, we can discuss the finer points of that after we see what they reveal they are making for the end of the year and the final 12 ROTS at Comic Con.

In what has (to me) an 80% chance of being accurate, Rebelscum reported RUMORS of there being a Jedi Temple Attack battle pack with

3 501st (blue) Death Squad Clone Troopers!

We need visual confirmation to take them off our list. However, it looks sort of good.

However, the pack also includes

Anakin # 2 - why???? OK, he's not easy to get on the shelves, but those of us who want to army build to do this scene could use a molded-hood-up, yellow eyes Sith Lord Anakin (Vader).

Clone Pilot - Why??? (to get pegwarmers moving off the racks - so Hasbro agents in green vests may be around to collect these where they sit, but the Clone Pilot is stil an odd choice for this scene. If they want to repack something, why not Pablo Jill? He's the only Jedi Council Member from ROTS not available in E3 packaging. And then there's the CW 3-pack Jedi - any one of those is no longer available. Or they could put Jett Zukasas in there, making sure that when the figure is released, it won't eventually pegwarm if they cut down the single-card numbers.

Here of course they miss the opportunity for really cool NEW figures: Palaptine in red with his hood up; Bail Organa in black (speeder scene); Mace Windu (removeable hand); and the Anakin we mentioned before (molded hood up, Sith Lord).

In any case, we've yet to learn if the 501st Clone will also be available as #41 repainted for single-card release.

I think there's a great chance we can cross him off our list soon.

According to the same website that reported the Hoth set in the first place:

The Veers is going to be a reissue of the prior AT-AT Commander, with a paint retooling, but this time called Veers. Reissued Probot. Two POTF2 Snowtroopers. The POTF2 Snowtrooper with cannon, because I don't have enought of those I guess. NO THANKS

They are also going to release a Diamond exclusive of Vader and the six bounty hunters. No new sculpts (not that I want any new sclupts). Saga Bossk IG-88, and Dengar. 300th Fett. POTF2 4-LOM and Zuckuss. I guess it will be nice for those who want 4-LOM and Zuckuss. I have them and I will pass.

The one I will buy is Anakin (reissue of #2), a Clone Pilot, and three blue Clonetroopers (#6) 5-pack. Of course, I would have bought two packs if it had just been five blue Clonetroopers. As it is, I will buy one of the pack.

Tycho

07-12-2005, 11:12 PM

Well, the Jawaforce site posted pictures of Hasbro's Jedi Temple Attack pack with 3 501st Death Squad Clones in it.

Can the Evolutions E3 Anakin suffice for an Anakin in regular Jedi Robes that can be on the Jedi Council and fly in the starfighter?

If they are $25..... 100 - 31.60 = 68.40 more or $5.70 per Clone...still not bad....

If they are $30.....120 - 31.60 = 88.40 = 7.37 per clone ...uh...choke.

THIS ALL ASSUMES I CAN STILL RETURN 4 ANAKIN # 2 FIGURES (likely to Target or TRU since Wal-Mart's receipts are so darn specific).

Now I'm ok with the extra Anakins - still need them for scenes however they are carded.

But I have 3 extra Clone Pilots....

It could get worse - buy an extra ARC 170 fighter??? I have extra R4-G9's because I can't take those back and I orginally was going to have 3 ARC-170 Fighters but reconsidered against that.

However, I have 3 extra Plo Koon figures (1 POTJ, 2 AOTC). I could use his starfighter in the ORDER 66 scene, or have him and his Clones walking by his fighter, prior to Order 66 and their mission launch in a "Right Stuff" type of scene of my own EU - if I want to save $30 from the purchase of another ARC-170 fighter....

Not sure how I'll move on this one. I can display the ARC 170 (#2) in another room that may have significantly less vehicles...I'm just not sure I want to call that much attention to this craft because it does that well enough on its own for being quite insignificant (compared with heroes ships like the X-wing it competes for attention with).

Alright...I need a Mouse Droid. :rolleyes:

Looks like we can cross off the following figures Tycho since it has been announced that these are three of the last twelve figures in the ROTS line.

Hopefull more will be crossed off one SDCC rolls in. But knowing our luck, we'll probably get 12 figures of characters no one has ever heard of :crazed: or Malibu Stacy---with NEW hat!!! :D

Yay! I was right! :rolleyes: Most of these 12 are repaints, or the same figure packed with a different weapon.

Bly is just a repainted Commander
501st is a painted #41
Wookiee Warrior 1 is the Sneak Preview one with a cutesy little vinyl vest :kiss: :rolleyes:
Wookiee Warrior 2 is the Battle Bash one painted like King Kong
Gree appears to be a painted #41 (why they couldn't give him real suspenders instead of painting them on is beyond me)
R4-P17 looks like it's a repainted R4-G9
Holographic Plo Koon is the POTJ one molded in clear blue
As is the Holo Aayla Secura, but from ROTS

And it looks like we're getting yet another clone not in the movie--a grey Commander in the Evolutions set variant.

And yet ANOTHER rerelease of the #2 Anakin-this time in lava colors :rolleyes:

Tycho

07-14-2005, 01:22 AM

Well, from the list of 12, two more ON our list got crossed out (Bly and Gree - yeaay!) and several others were ones that were getting votes requesting them here: Holo Aayla, and Holo Plo Koon. Why our Very-Most-Wanted-Cody is not amongst Hasbro's plans is beyond me.

I agree that Commander Gree could have been a new sculpt. Bly only needed to be a repaint, but my friend from Galactic Hunter who saw them in person said he thought Bly was at least an altered sculpt - unless I misunderstood him. (Maybe he meant Bly in the movie?)

Anyway, I'll print our list WITH THE CROSSOUTS so Hasbro can see they're somewhat on the ball, then bring it to them on Friday. We want all 20 of these made, and when we get them, we'll try to identify another 10 or 20 that haven't been made for next year.

I think Anakin is likely yet again. It will sell. A pilot figure would be nice though.

Looking at Core Characters, Dooku and Grievous will come out again somehow, as will some of the battle droid types. Dooku could come in their Geonosian wave, but even if he didn't, 4 figures (Dooku, Grievous, Anakin, a type of BattleDroid) wouldn't be 6. I think a Padme figure will be likely. Which one? I don't know. Probably the buns. R2 could be better represented all new in the Endor wave. Palpatine is not a high-seller. Mace Windu could come out resculpted here (unfortunately - since he's not high on our list). A new Bail Organa isn't too likely either. The medical droids are from Coruscant, but they're not really from "the Battle of." A FireShip Pilot could be really, really likely for the good news. The Niemoidian Ship Captain is also not too far fetched if they are not releasing Nute Gunray in the Geonosis or Naboo waves. Repackaging the 501st or Shocktroopers yet again wouldn't be a surprise though. I'll get all I need THIS summer I hope, but it's not like they are going to sit if they do this. Padme and a Fireship Pilot are our best hopes at new figures from our list above.

ROTS has seen its best days for figure releases already -and Cody doesn't fit into the Battle for Coruscant theme too well (that I can see - though they know he's the most wanted).

Looking at Core Characters, Dooku and Grievous will come out again ('duh) somehow, as will some of the battle droid types. A FireShip Pilot could be really, really likely for the good news. (I'm a genius!) The Niemoidian Ship Captain is also not too far fetched if they are not releasing Nute Gunray in the Geonosis or Naboo waves. (uh-huh)

ROTS has seen its best days for figure releases already -and Cody doesn't fit into the Battle for Coruscant theme too well (that I can see - though they know he's the most wanted).

(So they're finally doing him anyway)

Anyway, good news.

Hasbro really did a great job knocking these out. I've updated our ROTS list with the addition of Baron Poppanoida.

There really isn't anywhere to go with this. ROTS is very near complete. Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen (same for AOTC) seem to be the biggest obstacles out there. A Lars family 3-pack from AOTC would solve a lot of that. Cody's Clone Troopers (Utapau) will also be welcome additions.

I think Po Nudo (the Aqualish separatist) and Senator Tiikes (the Quarren) would be welcome additions. The medic clone (Utopau) is still a good choice.

EE posted this pic a while ago...still can't figure out why he's in the Geonosis wave...

-Mygeeto Galactic Marine (Bacara's men) - a Saga2 repaint of the snowtrooper would pretty much do the trick. I'd buy 4 or so.

-Medic Clone (now labeled Utopau airborne assault trooper) - a new head sculpt and paint application. This will get done.

-Commander Neyo - (BARC Speeder, Stass Allie's betrayer) -Clones sell, plus here's a way to market a $9 figure if he's issued as a Deluxe with a speederbike.

LESS LIKELY:

- Padme Nabarrie-Skywalker (nightgown..."So love has blinded you?") - a pregnant figure in her nightgown. For a kids' toy line? This would be nice but controversial. Still I hope Hasbro has some guts.

-Beru - they've shown some reluctance as a 3-pack with Cliegg has been overdue since AOTC. They also have a baby Luke sculpt they can use for her accessory too.

-Owen - ditto, although a moisture farmer's rifle sculpt exists and would suffice. Re-releasing the Anakin Tatooine speederbike but with Owen (who actually owned the bike would be a wise move here). Again, AOTC not ROTS, but this would be cool and I don't think we are really that particular.

-Queen Antilles - they could do a 3-pack including Leia's baby sculpt and a new figure of Bail Organa. It seems to be a good way to market him, although I'd rather have his speeder car outfit or his Senator attire.

-Padme's birthing aide droid (Polis Massan - "Uba....Uba.") Hmmm - some retooling of the Jedi Library Droids here? Luke or Leia babies as accessories? It's possible, more than our deluxe or 3-pack ideas, but the OB-GYN hand is sort of, well of questionable taste for an action figure. But I'd buy it and make scenes with my Slave Leia figure! :D

Tycho

06-29-2006, 05:26 PM

Well, if Rebelscum's rumor mill pans out, we could strike 3 more from our list - all Clones - though we need visual confirmation:

I think Commander Neyo is still just a rumor at this time - but I may be mistaken and he might've actually been shown.

Tycho

12-24-2006, 05:00 PM

Update: Commander Neyo is shown at 4inches, a German fan site. Rebelscum has the link in their main news.

We're down to 8 remaining figures. ALL the clones have been done.

What's left are the Lars (as has been the case for too long since AOTC actually - their scene was filmed then)

Padme - as usual

An obscure character (Bail's wife) and the background droids.

It might soon be time to re-poll ROTS and pick up the Utai (starfighter refuelers) some new incarnations of Bail Organa, a new outfit for Palpatine (Jedi v. Sith duel), and so forth. I'd say we could wait until:

- we get 3 more figures from our list - any 3 - but that will put us operating at 75% here

- we get 25 of the 50 requested (or 1/2 the figures wanted) in our 5-movie scene-by-scene poll and then re-poll the whole lot of them, this time including ROTS in a complete Saga poll.

I'd almost want to do that, because as far as the Utai are concerned, they're a no-brainer that we'll get figures for sooner than later and I'm not really sure we should waste a poll slot demanding them. As the Ugnaughts were made, the Utai will get made as well.

Most of the droids are repaints or reaccessorizing existing sculpts: the Jedi Library Droids turned into the Polis Massan med droids, and 21-B and FX-7 repainted and renamed for the rest of Vader's medical team in ROTS.

Well, we'll see what is to happen.

pegger

12-26-2006, 07:38 PM

I'm for your second option and merging the 2 lists. It makes more sense to me.....besides - i'm almost done with ROTS figs that I want anyways...

BattleDroid, that's precisely why I think I agree with the prevailing preference to wait until the Scene-by-Scene 5 movie poll list winners have seen at least 50% to up to 75% production (25 finished figures to 37 finished figures) before we poll again. Then we use the same strategy as that thread originally did, adding ROTS in at the appropriate time (possibly even the CW and live-action series choices at the time) and allow for write-ins etc. just as before. It might not be until 2009 or 2010 until we're ready to do this. By no means would that mean that Hasbro would not have already selected to make some of the ROTS characters you mentioned already. That's fine - we won't have to waste positions in the poll list for them.

You have to admit, that Hasbro has been the most thorough with ROTS than with any prequel movie. The collection was an obvious sales success for them (stock values proved that) and the movie was a critically acclaimed success from amongst any of the prequels as well.

Rute Gunnay (That's not Lott Dod in ROTS, it's Rute Gunnay.)

Umm..the only Nemoidians (with lines) in ROTS were Nute Gunray, Rune Haako, and Lushros Dofine. The rest were all either nameless soldiers, aides, or technicians onboard Grievous's ship. Where are you getting Rute Gunnay from?

Droid

12-30-2006, 04:52 PM

I'd merge the two lists and incorporate the ROTS figures into the rankings by re-polling, with rules that no orginal trilogy figure can change its position in the rankings against other original trilogy figures and no ROTS figure can change its ranking in relation to other ROTS figures.

I don't think we should add new figures. I think we should just let Hasbro keep chipping away at what is left.

Technically you could cross off baby Leia and baby Luke Tycho. We did get those (even if they weren't with the figures you wanted them to be with).

05-23-2007, 11:17 AM

Doesn't look like we'll be getting any of the remaining figures on this list this year!

No. The Utai (little ones) and some alternate outfits for Bail Organa (senate and Jedi Temple) would be favorites I'd add for personal taste. Maybe new Wookiee Warriors (new sculpts) could be made. ROTS was very well covered. The Lava Miner was a nice surprise this year.

Technically you could cross off baby Leia and baby Luke Tycho. We did get those (even if they weren't with the figures you wanted them to be with).

Well, we might as well leave them, as Beru and Breah Antilles-Organa would be very plain without accessories. And the twins are already made.

I'd say with all the Clone Trooper variants it was over-covered...:lipsrsealed: Seriously though, ROTS was well covered and like the film was a better showing of the NT.

Now I'd like to see some of fine work done for ROTS brought to TPM....

We'll have to study and debate that. I can't make that call right now myself. I didn't see the figure, only the slide of the prototype was pictured.

In my own collection, I'll use that 2-1B droid as Vader's medical droid. I have need of that figure (VMD) one way or another and am not going to nitpick that (per my own personal tastes). Also per my personal tastes, I'm not going to replace the 97 21-B figure in scenes I bought it for (Bacta Tank, etc.) but I might get an extra for the post-Bespin duel "Hand repair scene."

Tycho

08-03-2007, 12:24 PM

In the 30th Anniversary Section there is a Poll for your Most-Wanted Expanded Universe Figures - the link is in my Signature.

Eventually when more of our 5-movie and ROTS lists we approved are completed by Hasbro (ROTS nearly is anyway), we will put the EU Top 50 into a final mega-poll when the time's right (Summer 2008 probably)

JediTricks

08-05-2007, 10:05 PM

You can tell it's ROTS 2-1b by the hips and legs and hands and other little stuff.

It seems to me that Beru and Owen should come off. I know that you can argue that the outfits are mildly different between Owen and Beru in AOTC and ROTS, but I really think they have made the figures now and that a ROTS resculpt is very, very unlikely. I would assume most of us would be willing to put AOTC Owen and Beru into a ROTS homstead diorama.

Anyway, if the rumor about the birthing droid is true, that would just leave Senator Amidala from our original list of 20!

There might have been some new ROTS "wants" posted in MadSlantedPowers' poll, but I think the two lists (mine and MSPs) matched evenly for ROTS.

I have not heard of any rumors about Padme's medical droid yet, but if they prove to be true, then we're almost done here. Wow!

4 years for almost complete results. 90% and closing in on the kill anyway.

Tycho

11-08-2009, 03:00 PM

I was just checking to see how we were doing here. No change - only 2 figures remain to be done (that were originally voted for when we created this poll) - a Padme figure and her medical droid from the birth of the twins.

But we sure did come a long way!

Droid

04-20-2011, 04:05 PM

Still no change here over a year later. I don't think the birthing droid will EVER get made at this point (if it ever had a chance at all). I'd give the Padme about a 60-70% chance.

sebillba

04-21-2011, 05:17 AM

Maybe it's time for a whole new list? Things have been pretty quiet here lately, so a new vote would be fun, if anyone wants to organise a poll?

Edit: I forgot this was ROTS only, how about a new poll for most wanted figures from all sources?

Droid

07-22-2011, 04:01 PM

Still no movement here, but I guess that Episode III didn't really get any figures today. Maybe in 2014.

Tycho

08-11-2011, 02:49 PM

Yeah, we're 90% done here with the ROTS figures we wanted the most!

Wow! Great job Hasbro!

The only 2 left are:

Birthing Droid from Polis Masan's medical bay.
Padme with her hair in "Leia buns," when she tells Anakin she's pregnant in her first appearance in the ROTS movie.

I have started a poll for a preliminary write-in list for the Clone Wars (new animated series only - but people can vote for "realistically styled" versions of Ahsoka, Rex, or whomever else they want.

I want to let that play out through the end of the summer at least, while we wait for the end of the convention season and pre-Toy Fair to see what else could come off our Scene-By-Scene poll (as ANH, ESB, ROTJ, TPM, and AOTC with general EU - I think Guri was the only EU character of noteworthy rank if I'm not mistaken).

Then let's see where we're at, and we can run 2 polls - to match the current lines - current Clone Wars on TV, and everything else.

Thus ROTS will combine with the EU and all the previous movies from which now even Daultay Dofine has come off the list.

I changed my mind and started a new poll at the above link. It's been 7 years since we last did this.

I was very fair to our 2 remaining finalists here (Padme and the birthing droid) and the 12 remaining finalists from our Scene-by-Scene poll.

Check it out at the link above and go and vote!

Droid

09-10-2013, 04:33 PM

Still no Padme or birthing droid...

Tycho

09-11-2013, 05:08 AM

And ROTS has other possibilities, mostly Padme, some Bail Organa variations I think would be fun, and some re-dos for Palpatine amongst other variants like a new Polis Masan (fat one) and a new Utai (different body shape).

There could be Wookiee warriors that do not look like any of the ones released to date.

The Luxury Droid is another possibility, as is Senator Fang Zar (Corellia).

If you go through the original list of some 50-70 ROTS figures they released in 2005 and some alternatives that made it out between 2006 and 2007's Galactic Marine and Airborne Trooper, I'm very satisfied with my collection and do not have any plans to buy the same characters over again - and believe me it HURT to pass up the wonderful VTC General Grievous with the cloth cape and lightsaber handle pockets.
